Detroit Publishing Company, the firm behind a huge body of American views printed in the early twentieth century, turned its attention here to fishing smacks, the sturdy working sailing vessels that were a common sight along the coasts. What sets this one apart is its focus on the smack itself rather than a harbor scene or a passing fleet. Such vessels carried fish and supplies between shore and sea, and the company's color-tinted prints like this one were popular with buyers who wanted a lasting record of working waterfront life.
